Using mixtures of common ancestors for estimating the probabilities of discrete events in biological sequences
Accurately estimating probabilities from observations is important for probabilistic-based approaches to problems in computational biology. In this paper we present a biologically...

Maximum entropy modeling of short sequence motifs with applications to RNA splicing signals
We propose a framework for modeling sequence motifs based on the maximum entropy principle (MEP). We recommend approximating short sequence motif distributions with the maximum en...

A Hidden Markov Model for Predicting Transmembrane Helices in Protein Sequences
A novel method to model and predict the location and orientation of alpha helices in membrane- spanning proteins is presented. It is based on a hidden Markov model (HMM) with an a...
